Problematic Substance Use and the Workplace

2017 Event

Substance use and its connection to workplace health, safety, and wellness has received too little attention to date and employers are looking for answers to important questions. Despite costing company’s significant amounts of money and negative impact, the issue of substance use has received too little attention to date. While most organizations do have drug and alcohol policies in place, it is important to regularly update these to ensure they are effectively and widely understood.

The Conference Board saw a need to address substance use, the impact it can have on your people, and to determine if your current strategy is doing enough. Subject matter experts and Conference Board of Canada researchers took an in-depth look at the state of problematic substance use and the best practices that employers are using to address the issue.
